Herdsmen: What we’ll do to Anglican bishops if they ask Buhari to declare us terrorists – Miyetti Allah

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, on
Tuesday threatened to institute a legal action against Anglican
bishops for describing violent herdsmen as terrorists.

Recall that an Anglican bishops in Nigeria had called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to declare armed herdsmen as terrorists.

However, MACBAN, while insisting they are not terrorists, admonished
the bishops to withdraw their remark.

Speaking with Vanguard, the National Coordinator of MACBAN, Alhaji
Garus Gololo said herdsmen have the right to graze anywhere across the
country.

According to Gololo, "We are not happy with this comment coming from
the Bishops who are spiritual heads of the Anglican Church; we want
them to withdraw it.

"We are not criminals and the President has nothing to do with us. We
are not terrorists, we are peacekeeping citizens.

"We have the right to graze anywhere in the world, not even in
Nigeria, because that is the business we came for. So, if the Bishops
ask the President to declare herdsmen as criminals, so every man they
see rearing cow will be killed. It is very wrong.

"We are not happy with this comment and if they make comments as such
next time, we will challenge it in the court."
